The Shooting Show - Foxing with thermals, summer roebuck stalking and testing digital optics

[@STUARTLUCAS2]

the clarity of that scope is amazing lovely bit of kit mark

[@stephenlewis195]

Great video mark and very productive too, you didn’t beat your record of 16 but just goes to show a good influx of foxes still about. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@Parfashrek]

The stalk was really well put together 👌🏻

[@predatorprotectionuk]

FAO, Mark Ripley. Well shot Mark, as a fellow left hander, and mosquito food supplier. Patience certainly pays off, together with knowing your ground👍👍 Great Job. David

[@ianscott9396]

Beautiful scenery there Chris, just beautiful.

[@jamescarre6743]

That must be the best, cleanest kill shot I have seen Chris shoot. 🦌🎯

[@timothyjohn3006]

Great video as always, Mats info on the Alpex & Cheetah was really helpful as I was talking to a gentleman at Scott Country this morning about both of the scopes! 😁😁

[@sean19]

[@thisoldtrialsrider7110]

Very impressive fox shooting

[@Wild_Bill57]

I remember the night you got 16’ but no matter how many you get, enjoy your shooting.

[@popnmeg]

Nice bit of foxing and stalking 🦌🦊👍

[@roseybut]

Epic episode gents. Thank you.

[@derekedgley5074]

Excellent fox shooting and great video

[@AIRGUNMADUNREAL]

Great video keep up the good shooting 👍

[@nigelgriffiths5732]

Good video some cracking shooting

[@johnballantyne6853]

They don`t run when you Spine them through the shoulders 😂

[@Camelotscountrysports]

Has Matt come back to the airgun show again and left Airgun action ??

[@jjdebruyne]

I was wondering this as well

[@ShootingCountryTV]

My main hunting and review videos are still on Airgun Action over on Shooting & Country TV. Both channels are now owned by the same publisher - hence my appearance on The Shooting Show. All the best. Mat

[@jjdebruyne]

@@ShootingCountryTV we are glad. You seemed to have disappeared. We need more of you!

[@theprofitmohamhead1268]

In this video you show 16 foxes that were harvested. When you remove so many predators that feed on pests, like mice and rats, in such a short period of time, are you then overrun with these pests as a result?

[@260rips]

No it doesn’t seem to make any difference, I think many of these foxes are simply passing opportunists rather than resident foxes 👍

[@sparkplugsteve402]

That was a repeat from C Dalton , been on before!

[@jjdebruyne]

Has Matt stopped airgun action now?

[@ShootingCountryTV]

No, I haven't. My main hunting and review videos are still on Airgun Action over on Shooting & Country TV. Both channels are now owned by the same publisher - hence my appearance on The Shooting Show. All the best. Mat

[@williamdouglas2393]

The gear should be good there is around 8 thousand pounds of thermal there Very expensive foxes Intresting video though. Cheers

[@jaseforster1184]

All this thermal tech just makes the foxing way too easy and way too effective I’ve noticed a massive reduction in numbers over the last 10-15 years which marries in with the increase in nightvision and thermal. There’s not much skill involved no field craft and definitely no sport ! It’s pretty sad really the way things are going. I’m no anti and I’ve shot lots of foxes in the past but round where I live and hunt I’d go as far as to say they’re as good as extinct come winter time it’s disgraceful being honest and at very least they need seasons.

[@260rips]

Really?!! Blimey round here we actually shoot similar numbers each year and have done so for the past 20 years or more. I regularly shoot between 120-150 per year and numbers are around the same over each of the farms. Shooting with nv or thermal is certainly an advantage but you still need a fair bit of fieldcraft - these creatures are very smart!

[@jaseforster1184]

@@260rips really? I’ve got over thirty years experience shooting and there’s practically no field craft involved. I know lads that hunt in winter time and they’re all packing up because there’s just no foxes about anymore in the winter and it used to be fruitful! This rifle shooting is way out of hand ! There’s way too many people doing it and the technology is too effective! How can it be sustainable when people are out there shooting big numbers all year round? It really is a disgrace what goes on nowadays in my opinion. I live in the countryside and never see a fox anymore yet years ago I used to see them regularly

[@reservedone1791]

I don't think that's right - at least not round my way. And in any case, I think you're missing the point of pest control.

[@jaseforster1184]

@@reservedone1791 you’re missing the point ! I have no problem with pest control! I do pest control myself. I do have a problem with total wipeout !
